#UN #climate talks fizzle out 10 yrs after #ParisAccord
Nearly 200 countries reached a weak agreement Saturday at the United Nations climate talks in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. The deal represents a win for the #oil, #gas & #coal industries because it makes NO MENTION of curtailing the use of #FossilFuels, the main drivers of #ClimateChange.

#Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva, with the support of about half the countries, had pushed for a road map for ending the use of #oil, #gas & #coal.
#Trump, who is withdrawing the #UnitedStates from the #ParisAgreement, refused to send negotiators to the event. Even without the Trump admin present to champion #FossilFuel interests, the measure faced stiff opposition.

Try to be EXTREMELY mindful when you are getting rid of something or purchasing something casually. The embedded #energy for everything - regardless of how cheap it is - can be mind-boggling.

Decades-long coal-fired power purchase contracts are slowing the transition to cleaner energy sources in Asia, leading utilities to burn more coal even when wind and solar power are available. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/20/energy/contracts-asia-coal-fired-power/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #asia #coal

Let that sink in - #China alone can ALREADY #manufacture all the #solar we need to reach our #climatechange goals. It is ALSO the cheapest source of #electricity. WTF are we waiting for???

Wright said the #supercomputers would also help manage the US arsenal of #NuclearWeapons [Skynet anyone?] & accelerate #drug discovery by simulating ways to treat #cancer down to the

"My hope is in the next 5 or 8 years, we will turn most cancers, many of which today are ultimate death sentences, into manageable conditions," Wright said.
[that sounds great, but #Trump has defunded #CleanEnergy, he actually wants to use #coal & other #FossilFuels which will increase #cancer rates!]

@indyradio we’re like a patient in the emergency room and the doctors are trying to find a way, any way, to keep us alive.
@impermanen_ so Trump wants to bring coal back.
that's really mind bending, when you think the rest of this through. then add that factor.

#RenewableEnergy overtook #coal as world's leading source of #electricity in first half of #2025 - a historic first.
Electricity demand is growing around world but growth in #solar and #wind was so strong it met 100% of the extra electricity demand, even helping drive a slight decline in coal and gas use.
Developing countries, especially #China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the #US and #EU relied more than before on planet-warming #fossilfuels.

Renewable energy sources generated more electricity than coal globally for the first time in the first half of 2025, driven by rapid growth in China and India, a report by a think tank has shown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/10/08/energy/renewable-energy-overtakes-coal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #renewables #energy #coal #solar #wind #india #china #climatechange #environment

A former U.S. climate envoy says President Donald Trump is leading the world "in the wrong direction" on climate and weaponizing clean energy as a culture war issue. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/18/world/politics/climate-envoy-trump-consensus-science/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #coal #oil #renewables #energy #pollution #us #donaldtrump #republicans #emissions #environment #cop30 #johnpodesta #joebiden
Today in Labor History September 16, 1945: 43,000 oil workers went on strike in 20 states. During WWII, most of the major unions collaborated with the U.S. war effort by enforcing labor “discipline” and preventing strikes. In exchange, the U.S. government supported closed shop policies under which employers at unionized companies agreed to hire only union members. While the closed shop gave unions more power within a particular company, the no-strike policy made that power virtually meaningless. When the war ended, inflation soared and veterans flooded the labor market. As a result, frustrated workers began a series of wildcat strikes. Many grew into national, union-supported strikes. In November 1945, 225,000 UAW members went on strike. In January 1946, 174,000 electric workers struck. That same month, 750,000 steel workers joined them. Then, in April, the coal strike began. 250,000 railroad workers struck in May. In total, 4.3 million workers went on strike. It was the closest the U.S. came to a national General Strike in the 20th century. And in December 1946, Oakland, California did have a General Strike, the last in U.S. history. Overall, it was the largest strike wave in U.S. history. In 1947, Congress responded to the strike wave by enacting the Taft-Hartley Act, restricting the powers and activities of labor unions and banning the General Strike. The act is still in force today and one the main reasons there hasn’t been a General Strike in the U.S. since 1945.
